Agree as a rugby fan, but can’t escape the niggle at the back of my mind that sports like football, tennis and rugby shouldn’t be there as the Olympics isn’t the pinnacle for these sports.

Congrats to all of the athletes! I can’t wait for 2016 (RIO) when Rugby finally makes a return as an olympic sport!!!!

You’d have to have Derek Redmond as physio as he knows just about every injury there is!

I know he has a slightly jaded history with the drugs ban, but have you seen the muscle mass on sprinter Dwain Chambers? That man screams crash centre or wing and still made the 100m semis!

No room for Cavendish? He would be perfect for scrum half… quick off the mark, strong and if he can direct a 8-man train in the Tour, he can direct an 8-man pack.

I’d also like to see a place for Vicky Pendleton…not sure about a valid reason yet

Loosehead prop problem solved. The late great Elvis Gordon. 23 stone Judoka, 3 time olympian world champs silver medalist and European champ.

Still think that my nomination of Fatima Whitbread is best option for loose head!

For loosehead I’d nominate Brian Jacks who got a bronze in judo butwas more famous was as a sporting Superstars Champion with records in squat thrusts and parallel dips .

That’s him I remember reading he was 20 stone as a sixth former as I was about half that weight as a schoolboy player myself (I’ve put on a few stone since all muscle of course :-) ) then I can imagine the impact he would have had.Could be one of the best discus guys ever as he is still very much learning the event.

according to wikipedia, in his youth Capes could run the 200 in 23 seconds. what a prospect!

Need to find a better loose head, Audley too tall and gangly.
